A dozen years ago, Chuck Pompey, Howard Taylor and Edwin Gold partnered as owners for the first time, purchasing a female pacer named Economy Terror. After an award-winning career on the track, she became a broodmare for the trio, and on Saturday, the group will send out one of her sons, Market Based, in the $600,000 Meadowlands Pace for three-year-olds at Meadowlands Racetrack.
For the second time in three years, owner John Fodera will watch three of his horses compete in the $1 million Pepsi North America Cup at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
The “glamour boys,” the three-year-old pacers, were at Pocono for the Memorial Day Monday holiday card, competing in the second preliminaries of their respective events: three divisions of a $138,758 Pennsylvania Sire Stake, and four $20,000 cuts of the complementary Stallion Series.
The sport’s “glamour division”, the three-year-old pacing colts, came to The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Sunday (May 15) for three $30,000 divisions of a Pennsylvania All-Stars event, and the most impressive – not necessarily because he had the fastest time, but the way he raced – was the Betting Line colt Night Hawk.
